The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has claimed responsibility for an attack that left four people dead at a synagogue in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Al-Arabiya news reported. "The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the PFLP, announce that both attackers were PFLP members," the group said in a statement.
The PFLP is revolutionary leftist organisation founded in 1967. It was known for its armed attacks on Israeli targets and aircraft hijackings. Its armed brigade, Abu Ali Mustafa, declared responsibility for many attacks during the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000.
Two Palestinians armed with a gun and axes burst into a Jerusalem synagogue on Tuesday morning and killed four Israelis before being shot dead, in the deadliest attack in the city in years.
The attack came as months of unrest gripped the city's annexed Arab eastern sector which has resulted in a string of deadly attacks by lone Palestinians.
Three of the victims held dual US-Israeli citizenship and the fourth was a dual Israeli-British citizen (http://www.theguardian.com/world/middle-east-live/live/2014/nov/18/jerusalem-synagogue-attack-live-updates#block-546b4e7ae4b0b4aa9c3fb00b)
The Americans were named as Moshe Twersky, Aryeh Kopinsky and Calman Levine. The British victim was Avraham Goldberg, who had lived in Golders Green in north London before emigrating to Israel in the 1990s. A Canadian was among the injured.
Kerry issues angry condemnation
The US has issued a forthright condemnation of the attack, AP reports.
US secretary of state John Kerry said:
Innocent people who had come to worship died in the sanctuary of a synagogue. They were hatcheted, hacked and murdered in that holy place in an act of pure terror and senseless brutality and murder. I call on Palestinians at every single level of leadership to condemn this in the most powerful terms. This violence has no place anywhere, particularly after the discussion that we just had the other day in Amman.

Checking in for a flight has never been the same since 1967

http://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/2008/0801/360_george_habash_0128.jpg George Habash attacks a U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace plan during a speech in Beirut, March 11, 1979
"Habash's group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palest ine (PFLP), pioneered the hi jacking of airplanes as a Middle East terror tactic — one eventually employed by the al-Qaeda hi jackers on 9/11 — way back in 1968 when three P F L P armed operatives commandeered an Israel i El Al ai rliner enroute from Rome to Tel Aviv. Checking in for a flight has never been the same since.
Many PFLP operations remain etched into history as some of the most infamous acts of terrorism. In 1970, PFLP terrorists hijacked four air liners at one time, flew three of them to Jordan, blew them up, and triggered the Black September civil war between Jordan's Hashemite monarchy and Palestinian guerrillas. In 1972, Japanese Red Army terrorists working with the PFLP massacred 24 people at Israel's Lod International Air port (now called B e n G u r i o n International Air port).
What led Habash, a Christian physician — hence his nickname al-Hakim or the doctor — into such a life, of revolution, of killing? The son of a well-to-do merchant, he was trained at the American University of Beirut, the most liberal university in the Middle East then as now. His background was almost identical to that of his best friend, Wadia Haddad, the No. 2 in the PFLP and the operational genius and passionate proponent of the group's terrorist acts. When I asked Habash that question during a series of interviews many years ago, he simply told me about his personal experiences when his family lost its home during israel's 1948 War of Independence, what the Palestinians call the C a t a s t r o p h e."
